When I run the A/C a weird grinding sound (like a gear in a transmission grinding) will go for a split second and then go away. Happens every so often with the A/C running and I feel a loss in power for a split second durring this sound as well. Happens 4 or 5 times on my way home from work.
I was told the compressor isnt working. They tested the low side and they said it was too low. Feel like this is a cop out when they dont know what else it is. They want about $1200 to fix it. (Live in Arizona and middle of summer)
Quesiton #1: Any idea what this sound is?
Quesiton #2: How hard is it to changing a compressor really? If I can do it myself if its relatively easy I do not mind spending a saturday working on it.
Anything helps! Thanks!
